Gaines County · Riley North field · Shut In · Vertical
North Riley Unit #318 (API 42-165-35071) is a well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed November 21, 2004 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2017.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 18, 1996, permitted to 7,256 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Upr Clearfork, Upr. Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 27.4M barrels of oil and 15.8M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 404 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
